Speaking to a gathering of elderly and middle aged women at Adhen Secondary School, Dr John Bera, head of department, orthopedics, RAK Hospital; stressed on the importance of keeping muscle strength high through regular exercising. He took the attendees through an understanding of arthritis, its prevention and treatment. A robust question and answer session ensured that the attendees had their concerns answered. The talk was followed by a preventing screening for joint mobility of all those present by the Dr Bera.
The camp comes as part of a series of community awareness programs initiated by RAK Hospital to generate understanding of various debilitating health conditions and their possible treatments and preventive measures. The initiative was jointly organized with the Al Nahda Women's Association.
